In contrast to that the pictures in the postings #8 and #9 are correctly placed but not displayed, and trying to open them manually (Context menu: View image) results in opening a TMO page stating:

Yup, that's the point:
  • Posts #1 and #2 use their own attachments and show them like garbage.
  • Post #4 uses some other post's attachment and shows it fine.
  • Posts #8 and #9 try to display their own attachments in a way described in post #8 and they do not show it at all.
In other words, the "simple guide" does not work. There is no way of displaying a post's own attachments nicely.

It looks like there is at least one way to embed pictures anywhere in a message, plus a way to attach pictures at the bottom of a message.
Yes, but not nicely. The best one can achieve is something like this. Embed your attachment in the message BUT put up with the garbage at the bottom.
